CBP Seizes $21.2 Million Meth Shipment in Texas

Recent drug seizures have highlighted significant efforts by U.S. authorities to combat methamphetamine trafficking. In Guam, a package containing approximately one pound of crystal meth was intercepted, part of a larger trend where over 7.8 pounds of meth have been seized from the mail since December 2023, primarily from California. Concurrently, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers at the Pharr International Bridge seized nearly three tons of meth concealed in shipments of tomatillos, valued at $21.2 million. This seizure, which included 398 packages weighing 2,379 pounds, underscores the persistent challenge of drug smuggling from Mexico. CBP officials have emphasized the importance of vigilance and the use of advanced inspection techniques in thwarting these operations. Homeland Security Investigations is now spearheading criminal investigations into these significant drug trafficking attempts.
